# CAT 0.24.0



## Test Power BI

Did you know you can automate tests of your datasets in Power BI workspaces? Or data in your local `.pbix` file? This is not new, with CAT you can already do that. What we added in this release is a [Tutorial - how to test Power BI data](https://docs.justcat.it/how-to-guides/data-platforms/power-bi/test-power-bi/ "How to test Power BI"). Feel free to compare your reational database with your Power BI datasets, compare two datasets in different Power BI workspaces, ... Whatever you need 😻.

  Connections to tabular models (Power BI, SSAS, Azure Analysis Services) are now reused between tests, to improve the performance.

## CAT CLI Installation

We removed CAT CLI from the MS Windows start menu. Users reported that as confusing, because the icon only executed  `catcli` and immediatelly disappeared. You can tell whether CAT CLI is installed or not in *Installed Apps* in MS Windows settings.

CAT CLI lives in your command line (any - PowerShell 5, PowerShell 7, cmd, whatever you use). The documentation was adjusted accordingly to prevent confusion.

Thanks [Helena Balzerová](https://www.linkedin.com/in/helena-novakova/) for reporting the issue.

## Azure DevOps Integration

Many of you use Azure DevOps *classic releases*. Our documentation is focused on newer YAML based pipelines, but we admint that many companies, including us, still use classic releases for some reasons.

We added a new tutorial with screenshots how to integrate CAT into these classic release pipelines: see it [here](https://docs.justcat.it/how-to-guides/pipelines-and-schedulers/ados-classic-releases/ "Azure DevOps classic releases").

## Fixes

Thank you all for your feedback! Out public feedback board on UserSnap (see the feedback button in the lower right corner of this website) is nicely filled with your ideas and problems.

In this release, we fixed almost every problem you reported. Namely:

* Confusion with *error in first query* vs *error in second query* etc. was fixed. Thanks [David Murray](https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-murray-6290507/) and [Jan Kocfelda](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jan-kocfelda/) for reporting the issue!

* *Buffer is full* error was fixed. Thanks [Lukáš Karlovský](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lukaskarlovsky/?originalSubdomain=cz) and [Štěpánka Rosprimová](https://www.linkedin.com/in/%C5%A1t%C4%9Bp%C3%A1nka-rosprimov%C3%A1-3289a0205/) for reporting the issue!


* Fixed counter of tests in the log files. For metadata driven tests, it was incorrectly counting also the template. Thanks to [Jan Kocfelda](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jan-kocfelda/) for finding out!

* [CAT CLI open](https://docs.justcat.it/reference/cat-cli/open/ "CAT CLI open") command was not showing description of the test and exited when non-existing command was entered. It didn't reflect changes in the project file, now there is new command `rerun` - it also completelly reloads the project again. See the [documentation](https://docs.justcat.it/reference/cat-cli/open/ "open command").

* The latest release of Power BI Desktop broke our `PowerBI@1` provider. Now it is fixed, you can continue testing your local Power BI data.

That's it :-). Happy testing.
